PGSPCA Shot Clinic Registration

If not, this shot will be good for one year. With prior documentation, the shot will be good for 3 years. Please email a copy of the prior documentation to clinic@pgspca.org by the Wednesday before the clinic; if not received by then, your pet’s vaccination will be good for one year.

Distemper is a series of shots, given 3-4 weeks apart. Animals that get their first dose before 16 weeks (4 months) of age need a booster every 3-4 weeks, with the final booster given at 4 months or older. Animals that get their first dose at 16 weeks or older need only 2 shots. Once the series is complete, the animal then requires just an annual booster.

Your pet must be 8 weeks (2 months) or older to get a distemper shot. To be effective, the first vaccination needs to be boosted in 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, your pet’s immunity will not be complete and you will need to restart the series of shots from the beginning, costing you time and money.

If your pet is ever lost or stolen, the embedded microchip can save its life; the microchip company will keep your registration information and can contact you if your pet is found.
